AOS Install Help

When I took off the intercooler, one of the bolts on the turbo side sheared off and is now stuck. How can I get it out and is it safe to drive with only one bolt holding the intercooler onto that side? Also, there isn't a 1/2 inch to 1/2 inch adapter in the box. Did anyone else have this problem?

AOS Install Help

When I go to get the 1/2 inch to 1/2 inch fitting I need that isn't included I will look into getting a set of the screw extractors. I was going to try to do it with the tools I have, but since I have to go to the hardware store anyway, I might as well get one of those.

I am still in the process of installing a GrimmSpeed AOS. I wouldn't necessarily call it easy, it's a bit confusing and one of the necessary barb fittings isn't included in the kit. I am going to get that fitting today and that's the reason I'm not done installing it. I will post some pictures when I'm all done. Hope that helps.

I installed a GrimmSpeed AOS. The install went pretty smoothly and my kit was not missing any parts. The only intellectually stimulation part was finding the best way to route the hoses. That part I actually did twice, because I did not like the 1st way I had them routed. If you have any install questions - send me a PM. I might have some pics laying around.

In terms of the sheered bolt .... I would have a professional mechanic who has done this many times drill it out. Such a new car, you don't what any additional problems there.
